The only
team that Arsenal ever sat back against
on if not
on regular basis is Man city, expect wenger to employ Welbek up front, use long balls,
attack from minute one, score one or two, then sit to start using
counter.
For example, against Pullis type
teams we may want Ramsey who will make the penetrating late runs into the box against a
team that sits back and defends, we may want to start with Ramsey against a
team like Chelsea to get the 1st goal but then Coquelin coming
on to sit and defend while relying
on long passes from Xhaka and the threat from our tank Seo and Bellerin / Ox... More
counter attacking.

on the
counter attack and that sort of surprised me.
- walcott is only good to come
on when the opposing
team is about to start
attacking us (when we are a few goals up) for his pace
on the
counter - having gabriel replace BFG makes arsenal compress the play and play better close intricate passes and take opposing
teams apart (he is a welcomed addition)
Teams simply make their midfield congested and as soon as
on of our intricate pass is intercepted we become exposed and concede
on counter attack!!
Its stupid to even try playin
on counter attacks when your
team suxx in it!
I believe tgere are 3 titke contenders this year Leicester, city and arsenal About Leicester they are doing great but there football depends
on counter attacking and few quick passes to reach the ball to mahrez or vardy i don't think they can impress anybody if they faced
teams that park the bus like what the
teams do with arsenal and also any injury for mahrez or vardy will ruin there season so i don't consider them a real challenge and in an open game we got the best out of them and beat them with 5 goals to 2 so calm down gooners About city they had very impressing start for the season then they were vety baf winning most games by pure luck or last minute goals and they could be beaten easily Arsenal are the best
team form we controled most of the games and the losses and draws were by bad referee decisions or bad luck and the 4 points margain with city could have been easily 10 or 12

so even though he scored a lot it did not help the
team... Laca has not been used properly but with Ozil and Mkhi hopefully Auba with Laca runnjng off him will create havoc Spurs scored in 1st minute so Man Utd immediately
on back foot... if new strike force can do same then our
counter attack away from home will work well....
As a WC
attacking player, there are certain things you have to overlook with Alexis — he will lose the ball a lot and this leads to a
counter attack on the
team which could be a goal.

team is strongly encouraged to play offensive game and it looks great to watch and gets us plenty of live games
on TV which means extra cash but no one is left to guard the fort
on counter attack's,
While armchair managing is all fun and good... Why
on earth would you want us to play a new system for a game this big!?!? I get fans fondness for the 4 -4-2 while seeing the very entertaining football
teams like Leicester and Atletico play with scything
counter attacks... But this is Arsenal playing Chelsea at home after they've had a couple of disappointing results.

on the
counter attack but we did fight and we have to give credit to the
team.»
The whole defence is shambolic
on the 1st goal we were

team!

team, we just didn't get the job done against a

counter attack (almost successfully) so in the end we were lucky to get away with a point.
Walcott is no longer needed with our new formation 3 -5-2 we are using Belerin
on the right wing what was once TW's hang out, i think TW shot himself in the foot by demanding he wanted to be a striker which his not, TW with his lightning speed (but not much dribbling skills) will best serve
teams that park the bus and
counter attack
If we
attack we will be easily picked of
on the
counter since we all know our
team defending is poor and our wide players don't rack back often and early enough to truly support the back 4.
Counter attacking, we've improved lately at stopping that a wee bit, our shape helps so long as the Brits get back in support of Xhaka (but it is usually an achilles for us along with high balls into our area) Other than that we should pick our best
team, focus
on our high tempo game, and just get at them... COYG!!!!

I understand what you're saying bounty hunter, but I feel like the week prior to big games should be enough time to at least tweak our formation slightly or employ a certain tactic, whether it's
counter attack with less possession or playing with two strikers up top instead of the lone striker, I would hope that players at the level required for arsenal would be able to adjust to this as it seems I tend to hear other
teams coming away from big wins uttering phrases like «we worked
on the manager's ideas this week and executed them well», I cant remember our players saying this for a while.

Yes thats probably reason, but if you do nt
attack you wont win, so there you go, our manager accepted defeat before the game, and he hoped that maybe Alexis or Ozil perform something crazy and win, thats not how
team should be set up, Chelski defence is slow why not use that to our beneffit, no one said we need to have 70 % poss to win, if he was scared from
counters than why did nt he surprised Mou and played his style, beat him
on his own game, they did nt have strikers they couldnt hurt us, he shold have started with pace and
counter their slow defence, simple logic, but it seams our manager freezed

Chambers instead of Arteta against
teams play deep as they will depend
on counter attack and for that we need pacey DM

counter attacking football why arent we more fluid based
on the
team we face?
While Arsenal have to be at our best and work really hard to break
teams down, often needing to score a worldie, all they need is a few
